Kherington Update

Kherington is still a crazy little girl. Mornings have gotten a bit tighter on time with school starting, but there is still a tiny bit of playtime. As you can see below when empty boxes are left around there are so many fun things to do in them...like eat breakfast :). She also likes when her daddy play's 'train' by pushing Kherington and Kevin around in separate boxes. It is dark when she leaves for school.

So school...we have a routine down so Ryan leaves around 8:15am, drops her off and heads to work. Kherington no longer cries at drop off and likes to watch the video monitor of Ryan walking away. She loves playing with a little boy named Jayanth who also speaks English. I'm not positive what they do at school on a daily basis because every day when I ask she gives me this scripted answer: "we play with toys, we play inside, we play outside, we sing songs." I know they play outside rain or shine, hot or cold so she has to be bundled up (especially since it's been around -10 degrees C for the last week or so. The only two activities I know they've done are a field trip to a farm and learned how to clean toilets (when she went potty at home she told me you don't stick your hand in the bowl and showed me how you use the rag glove to clean the top).

Two funny stories I heard from other parents: (1) Kherington is apparently quite the talker...in English that is....one of the boys in the class has picked up phrases she says and now speaks with an American accent instead of an Indian accent. (2) Another friends mom said he daughter was at home playing and started yelling 'Stop Kherington, Stop Kherington.' The mom asked where she heard that and the little girls says 'Madame Sandy says that'. Madame Sandy is Kherington's school teacher...so she might not be the most obedient child at school.

After School:
She eats a chocolate croissant on the walk home, then it's lunch time. That usually entails pasta or peanut butter and honey or apple and cheese. Just something to fill her up at little more. She now naps about every other day. She either naps or has 'quiet movie time.' I finally got smart and for quiet movie time I started having her lay in her bed with the dvd player (so she falls asleep).

She likes to do crafts. Some of our recent ones include water wow painting, pasta necklaces and glue collages and of course normal painting. She has also gotten a little smarter and now asks me to move her elmo couch on top of the normal couch so Kevin can't reach whatever it is she has.

A couple other things: she changes her clothes multiple times and currently loves dresses, she could eat none stop everyday, she can navigate our mac and knows how to open front row to take picture of herself (as well as change backgrounds) as well as open firefox and and browse to sesame street. She loves playing with friends, helping in the kitchen and or course bath time.
